• Research and resolve invoice discrepancies, duplicate payments, credits, and other AP issues.
• Partner with internal departments to obtain approvals, resolve coding questions, and address outstanding invoices.
• Support month-end and year-end close activities, including AP subledger-to-GL reconciliation, cutoff, accruals, AP aging, and other close-related responsibilities.
• Own annual 1099 reporting, including TIN validation and filing.
• Maintain appropriate AP documentation, records, and internal controls, including segregation of duties between vendor setup, invoice entry, and payment release.
• Identify opportunities to improve AP processes, controls, workflows, and efficiency, including through automation and AI-assisted review.
• Support the annual financial statement audit and provide AP documentation and reporting as needed.
• Manage and support AP team members, including workload prioritization, training and day-to-day guidance, as applicable.
• Perform other accounting and finance responsibilities and special projects as assigned.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive accounts payable or related accounting experience, including experience owning or overseeing the full AP cycle.
• Previous experience leading an AP function, supervising employees, or serving as the senior point person for accounts payable.
• Strong understanding of accounts payable processes, accounting controls, vendor management, and payment processing, including ACH and wire payments and fraud-prevention practices.
• Experience supporting month-end close and account reconciliations.
• Experience with 1099 reporting.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage a high volume of transactions and multiple priorities.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
